(7,904 posts)me...meh. They recognized a good thing ($$$) when Olbermann showed them they could get ratings by slamming Rs, but that doesn't mean they aren't going to continue feeding you the same old normalization of R corruption and misdeeds. Much respect to Ms. Maddow and a select few others at MSNBC, but MSNBC is still a mouthpiece of the billionaires.
Not knowing specifically, but I'm guessing the story they're running is about the 'unintentional' release of redacted info by Manafort's attys that he gave psychographic voter data from Cambridge Analytica to the Russians while employed as Trump's campaign manager...pretty much a smoking gun of the attemp to subvert the election.

(8,386 posts)WAPO: Paul Manafort shared 2016 polling data with Russian associate, according to court filing
Paul Manafort shared 2016 presidential campaign polling data with Konstantin Kilimnik, an associate the FBI has said has ties to Russian intelligence, according to a court filing.
In January 2017, Trumps personal attorney Michael Cohen has said he was given a Russian-friendly peace plan for Ukraine during a meeting at a New York hotel with a Ukrainian lawmaker and Felix Sater, a longtime Trump business associate.
The proposal would have paved the way for the United States to lift sanctions on Russia, a top foreign policy goal of the Kremlin. Manafort told The Washington Post in 2017 he had no role in the episode.
In emails first reported by The Post, Manafort, who was deeply in debt at the time he agreed to work for Trumps campaign for no pay, wrote to Kilimnik during the campaign and said he hoped to use his campaign role to get whole. He also asked Kilimnik to offer private briefings about the campaign to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian businessman who is close to Putin and to whom Manafort owed money. A spokeswoman for Deripaska has said he was never offered or received briefings about the Trump campaign.

(26,666 posts)Did we know Manafort was involved in dirty dealings? No kidding. Did we know the Trump campaign staff was up to their neck in it? Sure! But, unless it has convincing-enough direct evidence implicating Individual-1 himself to justify impeachment and/or indictment, it's a big nothingburger.

Or like the the combat photog at Iwo Jima...Y.A Tittle on his knees, helmet off, head bloodied at the Superbowl. A once in a lifetime photo op.

She owns the word "bombshell", and always will.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Mansfield-Sophia_Loren_photo
In April 1957, Mansfield's breasts were the focus of a notorious publicity stunt intended to deflect media attention from Sophia Loren during a dinner party in the Italian star's honor. Photographs of the encounter were published around the world. The best-known photo showed Loren's disapproving gaze falling on the cleavage of the American actress (who was seated between Loren and her dinner companion, Clifton Webb) when Mansfield leaned over the table, allowing her breasts to spill over her low neckline and exposing one nipple.[2] The photograph of that episode was a UPI sensation, appearing in newspapers and magazines with the word "censored" hiding the actress's exposed bosom.[3] Sophia Loren said in a 2014 interview that she was "staring at her nipples because I am afraid they are about to come onto my plate."[4]
